Mixed Doubles 2012

The 2012 Mixed Doubles Season has begun . Players may be added to teams through June 10, 2012. We wish all the teams good luck and good weather!

New rule this year: Players may not participate on more than one team of the same division and level. For example, players may not play 6.0 Adult in both CTL and LATA. You can sign up for a 6.0 team and a 7.0 team, just not two 6.0 teams (or 7.0 teams).

If you haven't read the captain's letter, there are some important details in there, especially if you are a captain. We encourage everyone to read it over.

Caution Urged at Local Facilities

CTL would like to urge all players to be vigilent about paying attention to their surroundings. Car break-ins continue to plague Columbia and that includes our local tennis facilities. To address these problems, Richland County Recreation Commision installed video cameras at several locations and are currently installing additional cameras in parking lots. RCRC has met with the Sheriff's Department and Sheriff Lott has pledged extra patrols and possible undercover operations. The most recent break-in was recorded on video and that evidence has been turned over to the Sheriff's Department for investigation. Players are encouraged to exercise caution and report any suspicious activity to the local facility staff.

 

 

The Columbia Tennis League welcomes all people who play, watch, support or enjoy the game of tennis into our events, programs, membership and leadership and will not discriminate against any person on the basis of age, sex, race, ethnicity, creed, sexual orientation, color, physical condition or national origin.  Moreover, we believe that the growth of tennis hinges on effective outreach to groups that have not traditionally been heavily involved in the sport and we will actively solicit and support the participation of such groups.
